And finally we reach the dark nether regions of Hanover Animal Hospital: the kennel. It's usually pretty loud back here--dogs like to talk--but the staff tries to keep it as fresh-smelling as possible with the power washer and lots of Parvosol. That's no easy feat with Jezebelle, the dog to my right, always making a mess! She's actually not staying at HAH any longer--she has found a wonderful home with one of our kennel attendants and is now living a life of spoiled rotten luxury.

There she is cavorting with Casie, before she left.

Here's another view of the runs, with the center island used for washing and storing food and water bowls. We also keep a radio on back here for musical accompaniment to the various barks, howls, and yips of our talented boarding dogs.

>> To the right of the runs is our dog ward, complete with a big tub just for dog washing.

This is the cat ward, which isn't usually as smelly or loud as the dog ward (that is, less fun), and also a little warmer 'cause the laundry room is right next door. Occasionally I try to sneak back here to scare the kitties, but they mostly nap and ignore me.

Well, that's Hanover Animal Hospital! There's not much else to see, except the doctors and staff, but who needs them when you've got me playing dress-up? Make an appointment to come by and visit, but I gotta warn you, I don't do autographs. This is Maddie signing off.
